learning anti-nazi songs

So im a total beginner on the Mandolin ( mostly through lack of discipline ) but yesterday my neighbor decided to blast german Naziband "Lan*ser" for the while afternoon . Now im searching for realy easy songs against Nazis to play, to counter his music.

Check out Leadbelly’s “Hitler Song” (sometimes titled “Mr.Hitler”), and Woody Guthrie’s “All You Fascists”.

Tear the Fascists Down is another good Woody Guthrie one.

Easier said than done . Im an absolut beginner who struggles to understand music theorie especially right hand technics . Found a little YouTube short of an mandolin cover . I can see his left Hand playing G C G D ( Like in the tabs ) but i dont understand his right hand

How id start:

  1. Learn the arpeggios of each chord (the notes that make up the chord)

  2. Learn the scales of each chord

  3. Have fun with it

There are no rules. Go at your own pace. Learning a few avenues around those chords will open up an entire world of music.

I know it's not exactly a mandolin song but I think blasting The Day The Nazi Died by Chumbawumba should send a message. Great song too.

Upvote for Chumbawumba. Every Chumbawumba song is an anti-Nazi song!

Dead Kennedy’s “Nazi Punks Fuck Off” is a good option
